    Hearts of Palms (palmitos) are a vegetable that comes from the core of the stem of certain  palm trees. They taste a lot like artichokes, but I like the taste and texture of palmitos better. Canned hearts of palm are packed in water and can be found in Latin markets and large supermarkets in the 'ethnic' food section. In Colombia, hearts of palm are use in salads, rice dishes, scrambled eggs and other traditional recipes, especially in Los Llanos Orientales region of the country.

    This time I made a simple and colorful salad with hearts of palms, corn, avocado, lettuce, tomato and red onion, with a refreshing cilantro and lime dressing. I served it with roasted chicken and it was a perfect summer lunch.

    Buen provecho!

      It's been a while since I had a salad with Hearts of Palms in them, I do like them as well. Very summery (for the cold weather 🙁 )
